Judge Dismisses Case Against Taylor Swift

A U.S. federal judge on Friday dismissed a lawsuit against Taylor Swift, who a former radio host alleged had falsely accused him of groping her.

“Taylor Swift did not act improperly,” said Judge William J. Martínez in Denver, ruling that David Mueller had “insufficient evidence Miss Taylor Swift acted improperly when she reported an assault she truly believed happened.”

Mueller was seeking at least $3 million U.S. from Swift, claiming she and her team pressured his radio station to fire him.

The judge did not rule whether Mueller touched Swift’s buttocks, as she has alleged in her countersuit.
